JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750)

Fugue for violin and basso continuo in G minor BWV1026

Performed by Helene Schmitt, violin
Jan Willem Jansen, harpsichord

*This piece is one of the few for violin that is undoubtedly authentic Bach, besides the sonatas and partitas for solo violin. It was composed during Bach's second stay in Weimar, when his position as court organist and chamber musician enabled him to work intensely and extend his knowledge of violin technique. Bach's earliest surviving piece of chamber music, this fugue has come down to us in a manuscript copy by Bach's friend and organist Johann Gottfried Walther.

  • Is that the beginning? I'm playing that piece and it starts with a single part and Bach gradually adds all the parts. Still very nice though!

  • You must be playing something else, because I have the score for this as well, and the basso continuo and the violin start at the same time.

  • No, it sounds the same, but where it starts is slightly before the middle of my piece. The violins start first in 1st and 2nd order then the violas, cellos, and bass. Maybe this is a different movement.
